Solomon asked at the temple's dedication, "Will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You." Tozer takes up that breathtaking question and follows it wherever it leads.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Tozer defines infinitude as God having no limits or boundaries of any kind — not in power, not in knowledge, not in time, not in space. How does this differ from saying that God is simply "very, very large" or "extremely powerful"?
2.He is careful to note that infinity is not simply a very large quantity but a different category entirely. What are the implications of this for how we talk about God — for instance, when we say He is "more" loving or powerful than anything we know?
3.Tozer connects God's infinitude to worship: we can never exhaust our exploration of God, which means genuine worship is inexhaustible. How has your own experience of worship reflected this — or been diminished by a too-small picture of who you are worshipping?
